WHY THE NAME

It's funny. Memorable. And makes us smile.

People know when they see one (a really ugly one). But to the parents, it doesn't matter -- their baby's beautiful. Companies are like babies. Few ever start off perfect. Some are raw, messy. But to the proud parents, their company's everything. We want to show the world that beauty. That's why we love ugly babies.

OUR OWNERS

David Kang | Producer | Partner p.g.a.

And spent the next 15 years building an empire that casts for every major music artists from Katy Perry, Eminem, J-Lo, Taylor Swift and top brand like McDonalds, BMW, Budweiser and Nike. He has over 38 Billion views on the work he's casted for. But, seeing bikini girls and celebrities started getting mundane, so he became a producer. From music videos to commercials to reality TV and feature films. He's produced award winning projects from the short film "Power Rangers Unauthorized", to the feature film "Bodied" premiering at the Toronto Film Festival in 2017 and the award-winning "SKIN" premiering at TIFF in 2018. He proudly joined the producers guild of America in 2014, but that still wasn't enough, so he had an ugly baby.
